Title	Genome-wide identification of H2A.Z-interacting proteins by bPPI-seq
Description	Histone variant H2A.Z is a critical player in setting up the chromatin environment that mediates transcription and other activities on chromatin. However, how H2A.Z is incorporated to specific chromatin regions is not clear. To examine the potential role of sequence-specific transcription factors in targeting H2A.Z, we screened for genome-wide H2A.Z-interacting proteins in vivo using a novel technique called bait Protein-Protein Interaction-sequencing (bPPI-seq). Among the hundreds of H2A.Z-interacting proteins identified by bPPI-seq, we show that a zinc-finger transcription factor, Osr1 interacts with H2A.Z both in vitro and in vivo and co-localizes with H2A.Z on chromatin. Knockdown of Osr1 compromised H2A.Z deposition to hundreds of chromatin sites enriched with Osr1 binding motifs. Furthermore, Osr1 and H2A.Z co-regulate the expression of numerous target genes. These results indicate that Osr1 directly interacts with H2A.Z, mediates its incorporation to a large number of target sites and regulates gene expression. Our data indicate that bPPI-seq can be widely applied to identify unbiasedly interacting proteins under physiologic conditions.
